Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 586

Adrienne was talking nonstop to Xavier, mostly about school. She mentioned that she had to perform later in the year. In previous shows, there was Hansen, but now, he was gone.

Xavier's eyes dimmed a little when he heard her words.

He finally understood one thing; pain would never hurt until you experience it yourself. He didn't feel much when he witnessed Hansen and Loraine crying over Yvonne's death.

It was not until Madison's death that he realized how much it hurt. It was a good thing there was someone here telling him about things that he was not that interested in to keep him company.

"Uncle Xavier, why won't you say anything?" Adrienne looked at him as if she was upset.

He came to his senses and said, "I was too into listening to you, Adrienne. By the way, what do you like to eat? I'll ask Yantsey to buy it for you."

"I want ice cream, chocolate, and cakes..." She asked for a few items. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Alastair sat by the side and said helplessly, "You're asking for too much food."

"It doesn't matter. I'll just eat less for dinner," she said hurriedly.

Xavier reached out and patted her head with a doting expression on his face.

Yantsey enjoyed the atmosphere. He turned and was about to leave to buy the food that Adrienne wanted. She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Yantsey, I'll go with you. I'm afraid that you would not be good at choosing them."

The corners of his mouth twitched. No matter what, he was someone who had gone through thick and thin with Mr. Godfrey. How could a child question him?

"Alright, then come with me." Yantsey reached out his hand and held Adrienne's hand as they walked out.

Alastair stayed behind, but it was rare for the living room to be so quiet.

"Alastair, don't you want to eat anything?"

"Mommy said that if you overeat such foods, you'll get cavities," he responded in a deep voice. It seemed that he was remarkably self-disciplined.

Xavier raised his eyebrows. He could tell that Alastair was a very strict person, but he was still a child.

"Alastair, you can do anything you want here and eat whatever you like."

"No, eating too much at night will make my stomach uncomfortable," Alastair refused again.

Xavier chuckled. "You're a kid."

"Yes, but there are two types of children, the sensible and insensible ones," Alastair responded in a deep voice. He did not need others to teach him about how to be a kid.

Xavier became interested and said, "Alastair, I'm very curious about how high your IQ is."

"198," Alastair said without hesitation. It was his mother who had taken him to do the test, otherwise, their grandfather wouldn't have allowed him to manage the company.

Xavier raised his eyebrows and found it rather amusing.

The next day, Xavier went to the company. He looked at the information that Yantsey had sorted out the night before and frowned even more. "Is this it?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed many times. Even the Jenkins family has news that Alexander did not agree to let our company participate in the case."

Xavier listened, but he didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the documents in his hand once more.

"If you don't agree, then forget it. I saw the few projects before. They don't seem to be reliable. Withdraw the funds for me. The construction work has not started anyway."

Yantsey was in a tight spot. "If that's the case, won't we seem untrustworthy to others?"

"Godfrey Group's name is in shambles anyway and has become a laughing stock in the Ocpeace City. We don't need to try to prove that we're trustworthy now." Xavier really wanted to laugh. If the Godfrey family wasn't one of the Four Greatest Households, the company would have been destroyed by others early on.

Yantsey thought that it made sense, so he did not say anything more.

When Wilson arrived, he heard that the previous project had been withdrawn. He received calls of complaints, saying that he did not keep his word.

He came to Xavier's office. "Xavier, why did you withdraw the funds?" He asked.

"The project didn't meet the standards, so we withdrew the funds. There's nothing wrong with it," Xavier said without raising his head. He didn't care about Wilson's arrival at all.

Wilson glared at him angrily. "Didn't meet the standards? I approved them after thoughtful consideration. How can you deny it? Xavier, even if you're against me, you can't make fun of Godfrey Group." "Who was the one that was making fun of Godfrey Group? Haven't you cheated the company enough? If Diana hadn't been investigated, I wouldn't have known that you had given your shares to her. Didn't you know that if you let go of Godfrey Group's shares so easily, the

company would be split up? You're shameless to be able to still say these words to me." Xavier's cold and bonepiercing gaze fell on him. Having a father like him was embarrassing.

Upon hearing what Xavier had said, Wilson did not speak because what he said was the truth.

"If that's the case, you'll have to compensate for withdrawing the funds."

"Compensate? Think about the projects you've approved. Which one of them is qualified? If they can't be done well, I will call the police and let them investigate." Xavier's meaning was obvious. If the money wasn't returned, he would get the police involved.

Wilson was so furious that his whole body was trembling. He couldn't say a word, and he pointed at Xavier, speechless.

"Why are you so triggered?"

"You're such an unfilial son." Wilson couldn't bear it anymore and roared.

Xavier smirked. He picked up the document on the table and threw it at him.

Wilson was stunned. Anger was slowly building up within him and was ready to erupt at any time. He said, "How dare you hit me?"

"Hit you? It was lighter compared to what you did the last time. I just threw a file at you, and you didn't even lose a drip of blood." Xavier didn't feel like he did anything wrong. When he was beaten, he had decided that he would return the kick sooner or later.

Wilson was never qualified to be a husband nor a father. If he had at least gone to send his mother off one last time, his attitude toward him would not be so bad.

"Don't forget who gave birth to you. Even if I was to beat you to death, you still have to bear with it. I'm telling you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here today, including Theodore." Wilson's face was flushed red as he spoke in a loud voice.

Just then, a voice came from the door. "If we were given the choice, we would not choose to be your children anyway. You're not a qualified father to begin with."

Both of them looked at the door at the same time.

Theodore's tall figure walked in through the door. A hint of disgust could be seen on his cold face, and his deep gaze was filled with a chilliness.

"Do you think that we are willing to be your sons?

Apart from all the scheming and plotting, we had never gotten any warmth from our family."

Wilson looked at him and felt angrier. "So you mean that I shouldn't have given birth to you?"

"Was he wrong to say that? God knows how many times we've been happy since childhood. You and Mom are really a perfect match. All you care about are your own interests," Xavier sneered at him. Obviously, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with his words.

Wilson finally understood their intentions; they were teaming up against him.
